SUN ECLIPSE in Romania. On October 25, 2022, the Moon interacted with the Sun. A partial solar eclipse appeared in the sky and covered most of Europe, the Middle East, but also parts of Western Asia, North Africa and Greenland. The October 25 event occurred when the moon blocked part of the sun's disk as seen from Earth. About 86% of the Sun's surface was covered by the Moon. People were able to admire this phenomenon from the areas of Europe and Asia. The phenomenon could be observed from all over Romania, the coverage of the Sun being between 33 and 44%. The areas where the coverage was higher are in the north-east of the country, with 44% coverage. The eclipse began in Bucharest at 12:26 p.m. and reached its maximum at 1:38 p.m., when the Sun was 38% covered. When will the next solar eclipse take place, visible from the territory of Romania! The next partial solar eclipse will occur on August 2, 2027 and will have about 50% coverage. And we will have a total eclipse of the Sun, visible from Romania, only on September 3, 2081. *Source* https://www.astro-urseanu.ro/imagini/observa/eclipse/soare/esoare-20221025-glob.gif

What to do ? What else can I try? We are born with the burning desire to have more and more and the more we collect, all our life, all kinds of things the more we want. Does the lack of certain things or goods in childhood lead to this fear of not lacking anything in life? There are families who do not have the material means to give their children everything they deserve, and they, in turn, when they become adults, will relive those times when everything was restricted, and this pushes them to produce more and more with everything that sometimes what they have is enough. This uncertainty of tomorrow divides people into two categories, people who work and try their best to lead a decent life and another category consisting of those people who try to benefit from others i.e. try to have a lot , without much effort, those people who try to cheat, who try to steal and who try to appropriate things that are not deserved. In the times we live in, today, the category of honest people, people who mind their own business, is starting to be rarer and rarer and people who really work are fewer and fewer. I am writing these lines to show my dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with my daily expenses in a situation where I work every day and pay contributions to the state, pay bills like any ordinary person and when I calculate my salary with how much money I have left already, a depression appears, thinking about the future near. Money is hard to earn, it takes a lot of work to be able to do something and at the same time it is spent very quickly and you end up wondering where a large part of the salary earned in the last month went.

Movies, a cure for boredom? A question that probably has several answers. It's a way to refresh yourself or, simply, you watch a movie because you heard it's in the top. **What movies do you watch?** There are several types of films that have started to catch on with the public, films that show the lives of certain people, contemporaries and their way of life. But there are also films of another kind, which have an impact on the public. **Adventure movies** We are all attracted to such films, we live the events and follow the action of the film until the end. Many times we are not satisfied with the end of this one, maybe it is not what we expected. But we also look at the good side of the film: I will follow the next series as well. **Horror movies** This kind of film has many followers, especially among young people. You have to be strong-hearted, to be able to follow certain sequences and some phases that make you close your eyes. I appreciate this genre and watch, with pleasure, many films in this category. **Romance movies** It is normal for love to be a highly publicized subject, we all have this feeling in our hearts and we are all delighted by the happy ending of such a relationship. Love and the subjects that result from it have made possible the creation of true cinematic masterpieces. **Historical films** A category of movies that should be considered and that should not be missing from any home. History is made by our peers, we learn from history and we make history for our descendants. **Sci-fi movies** More and more, this kind of film has entered our lives and finds its place in many cinemas, being films with great impact for most of us. We are all drawn to the unknown and what might happen in the future. Movies are an opportunity to discover something new, to learn the customs and those around us.

When you have talent, you do, everyone sees it. Are we all the same? Not by a long shot. The fingers are not the same, on the hand, but we, the people.. Why do I say this? I'm watching a TV show in which undiscovered talents are being searched for in the music field. So, I was amazed at how much potential we humans can have. From infancy, childhood and up to the age of 80, people never cease to amaze us. I don't know how interesting it will be for some, but for me, these people, who have no training, studies, in the musical field, to make a performance hall stand up. Children at 10-11 years old, to be able to sing and reproduce difficult songs, which can also put professionals in difficult situations, have the innate grace to make, from that song, something that reaches people's hearts. I am convinced that such competitions exist all over the world and that, in this way, the possibility is given to people with ability to show their talent and the world can appreciate their work. I have written, here, exactly what I am thinking now, in front of the television, watching such a contest.

Analysis of the day, it could be better! Lately, I've come to the conclusion that it's good to make some plans for the next day or days and do your best to fulfill them. **The better the plans are described and in detail, which you have to follow, the greater the chance of success.** I started the morning with two plans to execute today, the cleaning and preparation of the shed for the wood that I am going to bring in in the near future and prepare them for the winter and the second plan, quite important and this one, changing a water faucet warm, in the bathroom. **Preparing the warehouse** I think you know what it means to have a shed in which to store, all summer long, all kinds of things that have become useless, things that I will definitely use next year, next summer. Starting from the children's pool, the children's bicycles, the tent that I had set up in the yard, all kinds of bags full of clothes, all kinds of bags with recyclable plastic bottles, all kinds of books and utensils used in the garden or when I was doing some a grill I had to take them, each one separately, and find another place for them somewhere where they won't make a mess until next year. It was 2:00 in the afternoon and I hadn't finished, and to make matters even better, a neighbor also came to visit, needing some tools to repair a roof, at his shop, so the period of activity until 4:00 in the afternoon, when I finally finished organizing and preparing the shed. **Changing the faucet** Of course, **my job is not that of a plumber** and I only have the basic knowledge in carrying out the activity in this field. But I told myself that if the man reached the moon and achieved so many almost impossible things, I would also be ready to change a faucet, with all the risks that are required. The whole thing went like clockwork, I removed the old faucet, prepared the new one, of course with the appropriate materials to prevent water leakage, and installed it, but now, the problems started. After I finished tightening the faucet I turned on the water to see what was happening and of course it **was flowing as if I didn't even have a faucet there**. I turned off the water, opened the faucet again, changed the gasket, installed it again and turned on the water. Not a single drop was flowing past the faucet, but instead, a few centimeters higher, while I was still working on the faucet, I touched another faucet that started to flow. Here I escaped much faster, because I only needed to tighten it a little more and the problem was solved. In conclusion, **it was quite a productive day**, leaving aside the time I spent with the neighbor and the nerves caused by the water in the bathroom. Tomorrow is another day a new start another skill set.

Storm warning in Romania. The day before, I was reading an article about a typhoon, I don't remember exactly in which area, very bad weather with enormous risks of causing material damage. I was actually thinking about that article today and I was very relaxed knowing that our area will never have such storms that affect us to such a great extent. I live in an area quite safe from such storms, an area that is protected by several mountains that are all around and which of course are covered with forests. We have never had extremely bad weather here, or the risk of having unusual weather conditions. But it seems that, with so many climate changes, we will have the surprise and of course the misfortune of having a storm that has never happened before in our area. I saw the weather forecast on TV this morning, which said that there will be bad weather and wind at a higher speed, but nothing to be afraid of. Around 6:00 in the evening, I received a notification message on my mobile phone, warning me that there will be a period of time in which there will be extremely strong wind and we are advised not to leave the houses. At first glance I thought it was a joke from a friend, but analyzing the message I realized that it was from the institute for emergency situations. If I had never received, in this area, such a warning notice, the first thing I did was to take a screenshot to read more thoroughly what a message says. A rather short period followed, in which I closed the doors and windows, gathered everything from the yard that was at a greater risk of being blown away by the wind, and settled comfortably in front of the TV, waiting for the promised storm to come . In about half an hour, the rain started and the wind started, but nothing out of the ordinary, a normal rain like it was until now. The warnings issued by the institute for states of emergency, I consider that it is a very good thing and must be taken into account with the greatest seriousness, now that the danger is not that great, it should be good news for us.

Why do people have to be alone? ***I could start this article by saying that*** loneliness is one of the most serious problems of society, a problem that only we humans can solve through understanding and kindness. **How do we understand loneliness?** **Why do we sometimes need this?** **What can we do to avoid the risk of being alone?** There are only a few questions that I will try to analyze together with you, maybe we will have a clear answer despite the fact that no one has succeeded in hundreds of years of analysis. **How we understand loneliness.** Like any person, I want to have someone to share good and bad with and to have someone to discuss various everyday or household problems with, and of course I can only do this with a person, not with a thing or an object. When that person is missing, I will seek refuge in other activities such as television, internet, social platforms, going out in the community, walking in the park. But these activities only occupy a certain period of the day and everything changes when the evening comes and you are alone between the walls of your house. **Why we sometimes need solitude** There are also situations when we really need to be alone, maybe after a tiring day at work or after some heated discussions with our life partner, and we try to clear our thoughts and put everything in order. I don't think there is anyone among us who hasn't hoped, at least, for a few moments of solitude in the hectic moments of a day crowded with various everyday problems. Those moments when you think only of the waves of the sea or the blue of the sky and you are not interested in anything that happens around you. **What can we do to avoid the risk of being alone?** Here, the problem is a little more complicated, it depends a lot on the circumstances in which or which made you lonely. I know people who had families, had children, had neighbors and at the moment they ended up living alone. Here loneliness, or in the example given above, maybe loneliness was more imposed because it was the only option for everyone to be quiet. Although they are people who specialize in reconciling other people, things can get complicated and there is no chance of reconciliation and then it is best to be alone. **Socializing** Although there are also people who do not have tangents with the online environment or do not leave the house too often, socializing is one of the most beneficial ways to make friends who in turn can become close people and who at some point will eliminate loneliness in your life. The bigger problem is that because of this loneliness, we can end up doing things that we can regret or, worse, give up on having contact with our peers.
